Starve.io

Starve.io features a dynamic game world that changes with time and the seasons. Day turns to night, and fall turns to winter. With those changes come new challenges: mobs that reflect the climate, and changes in temperature that require different survival strategies. Build up your points by becoming the most renowned survivor of the land, harnessing resources to suit one primary goal: Survival at all costs.

How to Survive

Survival depends on fulfilling your needs and avoiding danger. You must stay nourished with food and drink, stay warm and oxygenated. You have four bars for these key elements of survival along with your health bar, which starts to drop should the four basic needs not be fulfilled.

There are aggressive mobs that will attack you, as well as other players occasionally, so you need to be equipped and ready to fight if it comes to it. You can improve your chances of survival by crafting useful items, staying nourished, and building robust defenses.

Items

Crafting gives you most game items. However, many items are gained through mob drops and Chrono quests too. Mainly, mobs drop food items, and quests deliver unique resources that you can use to craft better equipment.

Crafting

Crafting in Starve.io usually requires a workstation and the resources needed to make the desired item. In special cases, a workstation may not be necessary for crafting i.e. a workstation is not required to craft a workstation.

Crafting is a key part of the Survive.io game mechanics, and a big part of what makes the game so enjoyable to play. You can collect resources from a range of biomes and natural deposits to craft better weapons, tools, armor, food, and structures to elevate your status as a master of the game. Agricultural structures such as windmills can also be built, automating the production of flour, which is used to create food for survival.
